00:09:27 - Difference between Swedish coast defence and the Jeune Ecole?
00:17:08 - Lots of UK science museums I've been to have large ship models in glass cases. How, if at all, do you spot the submerged torpedo tubes on the models?
00:19:16 - What is the truth to the claim that Rome's voracious appetite for timber to build the fleets of the Punic Wars caused the denuding the southern Italy and thus the degradation of its soil such that it become much poorer agriculturally and the enfeeblement of that region we know of today?

00:27:25 - Was there a design for a unified battery warship in the Age of Sail?

00:58:32 - The importance of crew!
01:03:11 - How long in advance before firing could you load an age of sail cannon without degradation of the powder charge, since it would no longer be in it's protective storage unit and may be subject to moisture in the air?
